Creating Reality…
One of the oldest questions mankind continues to ask is: What is reality?
Since there is a “lowest common denominator reality” we all share, your first reaction to that question might be: “It’s what I wake up to everyday …Where I live, the car I drive the job I go to, etc.”
Here’s the conundrum:
As soon you say “my” you have altered the shared reality of everyone else on the planet. You have stepped into world of alternate realities. Each one of us is living, creating and sustaining our own unique alternate reality. We do it every second we are alive. It’s called the life we are living!
So which “reality”, the shared reality or the individual alternate reality, is the “real” reality?
Let me answer that by throwing this into the discussion:
Last year I built a garage. My wife Gwen and I thought about it. We used our computer to put some simple plans together. Walked around our property and decided where to put it. Up until that point the garage was living as a only in our imagination and our mind and a few ones and zeros in the computer. It was strictly our personal alternate reality.
Once we broke ground and built it, the garage changed the shared reality of everyone in my neighborhood, my county and my state!
It transformed itself from being Gwen and Bob’s alternate reality into a shared reality.
It became a shared reality because it affected the perception of reality of everyone who could see it. It was now a part of the “shared landscape”.
The point I am trying to make here is very simple: The alternate reality which first lives in your imagination and mind is as powerful and as real as any shared reality. The only difference between the two types of realities is the degree of “outer” manifestation.
In order to make your dreams a part of the shared reality, they must first become real living breathing realities within your personal alternate reality.
As they begin to grow and flourish, as a result of your nurturing, imagining and believing, they will begin to crossover into the shared reality.
How do turn your alternate reality a shared reality?
I’ll answer that in tomorrow’s blog!
